Advice after lumpectomy

Hi 

I’m just after some advice. I had my lumpectomy and lymph node biopsy on the 2nd September. They went in  on one place almost under my arm. That area doesn’t hurt anymore. But my nipple is constantly erect and so painful it’s all red aswell. My breast itself feels like it does when you get cold like constantly it’s so painful I’m on tramadol at the moment. I was wondering if anyone else had this and did ever stop? I’m starting to wish I fought for a mastectomy like I wanted. 

Thanks for reading

  • Hi mrsh7,

    Unfortunately I'm unable to advise on this, but you should discuss this with your doctor if you have some concerns about it - it's important that you have peace of mind.

    If you'd like to discuss anything with our nurses, you can reach them on 0808 800 4040 - Monday-Friday, 9-5.

    Otherwise, if anyone else has similar experience hopefully they will be along here soon.

    Wishing you all the best,
